14 1 OPTIMA System – An efficient sound insulation For acoustic comfort indoors, a house needs to be well insulated against the noise outside. The OPTIMA System, based on the mass-spring-mass principle, achieves ISOVER Acoustic Comfort Classes, which generally exceed standard requirements for sound insulation. The OPTIMA System safeguards personal privacy in the home, maintaining the well-being of its occupants. Acoustic insulation of a construction is determined by the (weighted) sound reduction index Rw, expressed in dB: the higher the Rw, the better the sound insulation. The table below shows some examples of sound reduction for different types of support walls, insulation and facing materials. Important: sound reduction of 10 dB causes 50% reduction of the parceived noise!

The OPTIMA System, with a perforated facing is ideal for such situations.
A dry system, easy to install The OPTIMA System is quick and easy to install, clean and dry. In contrast to traditional dry lining solutions, adhesives and glues are not needed, allowing installation in unheated rooms or during periods of frost. 1. Installation of OPTIMA Floor and Ceiling Studs The position of the OPTIMA Floor and Ceiling Studs is determined by the width of the window frame (Picture 1, point T) minus the thickness of the facing. Check the frames reference points to ensure correct positioning of the OPTIMA Floor and Ceiling Studs and correct any possible misalignment. Mechanical Installation according to the support: • Pistocelling (ideal for concrete slabs) • Plugs to be hammered (screw + plug) If the ceiling is made of concrete blocks, the upper corners can be attached with expansion plugs. To ensure the joint between the OPTIMA Floor and Ceiling Studs, and the support is air tight VARIO DB band should be used (Picture 2). Installation in humid rooms requires the necessary protection for such joints. (A) OPTIMA Floor and Ceiling Studs (B) VARIO DB (C) OPTIMA 240 Stud (horizontal) 2. Installation of OPTIMA 240 Studs and OPTIMA2 Support In new buildings, horizontal OPTIMA 240 Studs are installed a maximum of 1.35 m from the floor (Picture 3). Depending on the facing and on wall geometry intermediate OPTIMA2 Supports are clipped every 60 cm (Picture 4). For renovation work OPTIMA2 Supports Reno are fixed directly to the wall.
